A PIacerxille Bonanza.

Last Monday Fred. Hofmeister concluded
to have the floor in the Arcade saloon, Near
the Cary House, removed for the purpose of
laying a new one. There was an old cellar
underneath, containing water about three
feet deep, and when this was removed the
workmen-Professo Owen Roberts and
another man-with the true instincts of
mining experts, concluded they would
prospect little Upon washing little of
the dirt around the cellar they obtained on
a shovel about so cents at the first trial
from few handfuls, and soon found that
considerable gold was scattered all through
the dirt. 4 trial with pan resulted in OBJ
tanning from % cents to 50, according to the
spot selected. A mining rocker was pro-
cured and about $40 washed out in a few
hours
The novel sight of gold mine in cellar
attracted quite a number of people, who
were in and out of Hofmeister's mine all
the afternoon. The owner will have a part
of the dirt removed to the creek and
washed, but will not attempt TO take it out
very deep on account of danger to the
walls of the building. The ground in his
cellar appears to have been worked once,
but part of the gravel was thrown back
and abandoned, though it contains enough
gold to pay well for working under favor
able circumstances. The tail-race of the
Pacific mine once passed through under
the floor, and where the water has washed
the dirt partly away and left the gold, a
fine prospect can be obtained though gold
is not SO plentiful in other places. There
is undoubtedly still enough gold under the
buildings and Main street of Placerville to
make several men comfortably wealthy, if
it could be obtained without too great a
sacrifice-P idcerrilie Republican.

The University Wine SAMPLES.

Professor E. w. Hilgard, of the State
University, publishes bulletin concerning
the wine samples recently submitted from
thdlaboratory Of that institution to the State
Viticultural Wine Committee, in which he
says:
The report of Wine Committee of the
late Viticultural Convention, as recently
published in the city papers, calls for some
comments on my part. The summary
manner in which that report disposes of
the samples sent from the University
laboratory shows that the committee. or
those OF its members who agreed TO the
concluding paragraph, simply misunder-
stand the purpose for which the samples
were submitted TO them, as well as the OBJ
jects and methods of our work. That
number of the samples We're made from
vines overloaded and therefore unable to
fully mature their crop, which would CT
necessity produce "green" wines, was
deliberately set forth III my published re-
port, as well as in bulletin previously
published. Both publications were sent at
the time to each OF the members of
the committee, as well as to every
member of the Grape-Growers.. Asso-
citation. 1t should therefore have
been well understood that these
wines were sent to the Convention,
not for comparison with the selected best
samples, whether of producers or of the
Viticultural Commission, but in order to
give persons interested an opportunity to
Judge for themselves of the result of long
pruning and therefore of the overlooking
of certain varieties. The present season
one-half of the vines will be pruned long,
one-half short, and will then show the con-
trast between the results of restricted and
of an excessive production. Had | antici-
pated that the committee would do its work
so much more hastily than has been the
case in previous years under the able man.
agement of Mr.. Pohndorff. | should GER
tainly have restricted the samples sent to-
few choice ones that happen to have come
to hand. For, in the work we have under
taken to do the aim is not to select choice
lots of grapes for the production of extra
samples. but to determine the prominent
peculiarities of each kind of grape in the
several grape growing regions, the grapes
being sent for that purpose by the pre-
ducers, without any selection on our part.
We make the wines as the grapes sent will
make them, presuming, as rule, that the
grower sends his best representative sample.

violently from side to side and suddenly
capsized. As the boat turned over Harry
and Walter grasped the gunwale. Little
Walter called to his brother to help him,
but Harry was fully occupied in retaining
his own hold. In a moment Walters
hands slipped and he sank. Harry was
picked up by boat and was saved. The
father and the three other children were
drowned. Charlie, the second boy, was
taken from the water after lie had twice

Another Life saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with q severe cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried sew
eral medicines, none of which seemed to
do her any good, but she continued to get
worse, and finally raised large amounts of
blood from her lungs. We called in fam
lily physician, but he failed to do her any
good. At this time friend who had been
cured by Dr. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, advised me to give it trial. We
got a bottle, and she began to improve, and
by the use of three bottles was entirely
cured"

METROPOLITAN Theater.

This evening at the Metropolitan the
charming young actress Miss Minnie Mad
dern, who has been playing very success
full engagement at the Alcazar, San Fran
cisco, will appear, well supported, in How
ard P. Taylor's domestic comedy-drama,
" Caprice" IN which she has made the part
of Mercy Baxter essentially her own.
The San Francisco press concurs with the
Negs Letter in its remarks concerning her
and the play: Minnie Msddern is the
possessor of grace, ability, magnetism, SYM
pathy, attraction, piquancy, naturalness
and sexual charm. There is no more de-
lightful unaffected little actress on our
stage, and in the peculiar phase of charac-
ter delineation, which is her forte, she has
no equal. Caprice" is a nicely treated
version of a very old time-worn stage story
with a common main idea. Every the
ater-goer knows The Unequal Matchu-
the two plots are substantially similar. In
Caprice" the scene is laid in New Eng
land, and the local character drawing is
cleverly done As Mercy Baxter, Minnie
Madden displays all the qualities which
distinguish her, and realizes bit of sweet,
simple, affectionate and passionate wom-
which sends warm thrill in ones
VEINS. The naturalness of her acting in all
of its details, is well evidenced by her man
ner in her wedding dress, and her exhibit
ton of her piano playing
